The humanitarian organisation Samaritan’s Purse has called on the public to join in prayer for a young boy from Mongolia who is undergoing life-saving heart surgery.

In a statement released on Thursday, the organisation said five-year-old Bukhbilegt is receiving treatment through the Children’s Heart Project in the Cayman Islands. The surgery, described as a catheter-based heart procedure, is being performed today.

“Join us in praying for peace for 5-year-old Bukhbilegt from Mongolia who is having heart surgery via a cath procedure through Children’s Heart Project today in Cayman,” the statement read.

Samaritan’s Purse added that their team is trusting God for a successful operation and full recovery. The organisation regularly facilitates medical interventions for children from countries with limited access to advanced heart care.

They also encouraged supporters to continue lifting up the family, medical team, and all those involved. “We appreciate every prayer lifted up for this brave young boy,” the statement said.

The Children’s Heart Project has provided hundreds of children across the world with access to specialised surgeries, partnering with hospitals and local churches to offer both medical and spiritual support.

he Palau organization, a global non-profit focused on evangelism, has reflected on what it describes as one of its most impactful outreach efforts in Zimbabwe. In a statement released last month, the ministry celebrated the success of its nationwide “Love Zimbabwe” campaign, highlighting unprecedented unity among churches and a powerful response from communities across the country.

According to the organization, “thousands heard the Good News, churches stood united, and lives were transformed through Love Zimbabwe.” The ministry reported that more than 750,000 people were reached with the Gospel during the initiative, which unfolded over an eight-month period.

Over the course of the campaign, Palau mobilised 8,870 volunteers and collaborated with 184 evangelists from seven nations, creating what it described as a vibrant movement of service, prayer, and Christian witness.

The organisation said it remains “in awe of God and amazed at what’s possible when the Body of Christ comes together,” praising the nationwide effort and the spiritual impact made in communities large and small.

The Love Zimbabwe campaign, organisers said, not only spread the message of Christ but also strengthened inter-church partnerships and community engagement. The Palau team expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support received and concluded their reflection with a simple declaration: “Praise God!”

FINDING STRENGTH IN SURRENDER 

Jesus' prayer in Gethsemane shows us that even He, the Son of God, needed strength from above. Feeling overwhelmed by His assignment, He turned to the Father for support. If Jesus needed help, how much more do we? Let's follow His example and surrender our struggles, trusting that total surrender attracts God's strength to accomplish His will. 🙏🏼 #SeasonOfPrayerAndCommitment  - Salvationist online

UDACIZA Calls for Open Conversations as Men Face “Silent Battles” Across Zimbabwe

UDACIZA Calls for Open Conversations as Men Face “Silent Battles” Across Zimbabwe

Local   November 17, 2025

 T

he Union for Development of Apostolic Churches in Zimbabwe and Africa (UDACIZA) has urged men across the country to break the culture of silence surrounding mental health, warning that thousands continue to suffer quietly under the pressure to appear strong.

In a weekend statement, UDACIZA said many men are battling stress, depression, anxiety, and emotional strain without receiving the support they need.

“Men everywhere face silent battles: stress, depression, anxiety, and the pressure to ‘be strong.’ Too often, these struggles go unspoken,” the organisation said. “At UDACIZA, we believe strength is found in speaking out, seeking help, and supporting one another.”

The call aligns with the Movember campaign, a global initiative focusing on men’s mental health, suicide prevention, and wellbeing. UDACIZA said the Apostolic community and the wider society must “reject the myth that men must suffer alone” and instead create safe spaces for dialogue, healing, and emotional support.

The organisation also appealed to churches, community leaders, and families to prioritise men’s mental wellness, saying stigma remains one of the biggest barriers to seeking help.

“We stand for strong mental health, resilient mental health, and equality within our communities,” UDACIZA added.

The solidarity message tagged several key partners and stakeholders working in the mental health and gender sector, including UNFPA Zimbabwe, Evangelical Fellowship of Zimbabwe, Trocaire, Zimbabwe Council of Churches, Oxfam, the EU Delegation to Zimbabwe, Men’s Health, United Nations, and the Ministry of Women Affairs, Community, Small and Medium Enterprise Development.

UDACIZA said coordinated efforts among churches, civil society, and development partners are essential if Zimbabwe is to effectively address the silent suffering of men.

The organisation encouraged citizens to continue sharing awareness using hashtags such as #Movember, #MensMentalHealth, #ApostolicForEquality, #StrongMentalHealth, and #ResilientMentalHealth.
